Experienced Termite Inspectors in Columbus, OH

Christian Flinn’s background in construction and remodeling provides an essential advantage in termite inspections. He can identify areas of vulnerability that often go unnoticed, such as hidden moisture, compromised wood, or improper ventilation, all of which attract termites and other wood-destroying organisms.

Columbus homes are particularly susceptible to termite damage due to: – Seasonal humidity and rainfall patterns – Older homes with wood-framed structures – Soil contact with wooden components – Moisture-prone areas such as basements, crawlspaces, and porches

Our local knowledge ensures inspections are relevant, thorough, and tailored to the regional risks.
